12-Years Unified School Program

Benefits of a 12-year Unified Education

Based on a school curriculum and philosophy that remains consistent from the elementary school through to the secondary school, it is possible for students to develop a variety of skills and abilities systematically over time. Students’ English abilities grow from a basic conversational level to the level needed to write discipline-specific essays at university. Because students do not need to prepare for junior and senior high entrance exams, they can focus on developing fundamental academic abilities through practical activities like discussions and presentations. Throughout the learning process, they develop their own thoughts and opinions with teachers and friends from different backgrounds and learn to respect other peoples’ beliefs and values.

Teachers in the elementary and secondary schools share information which helps them support students individually. Students can actively challenge and benefit from quality experiences in and outside of school by pursuing their interests through extracurricular and volunteer activities.

In addition, by learning in GKA’s unique environment for 12 years, students get to know each other deeply and create strong relationships which help them grow even more. Attending GKA fosters friendships that last a lifetime.
